As this is an extra feature though =E2=80=93= and a=20 > nice-to-have, it should definitely be discussed in the DTS meetings as=20 > Honnappa suggested already. I would not classify this idea as "nice-to-have". I would split this proposal in 2 parts: 1/ YAML is an implementation alternative. 2/ Being able to write a test with a small number of lines, reusing some commands from existing tools, should be our "must-have" common goal. Others have mentioned that YAML may not be suitable in complex cases, and that it would be an additional language for test writing. I personnaly think we should focus on a single path which is easy to read a= nd maintain. =46or the configuration side, YAML is already used in DTS. =46or the test suite logic, do you think we can achieve the same simplicity with some Python code? We discussed how to progress with this proposal during the CI meeting last = week. We need to check how it could look and what we can improve to reach this go= al. Patrick proposes a meeting this Wednesday at 2pm UTC.
